After a day off, the Red Sox will be back in action Tuesday night when they open a three-game series with the Phillies at Fenway Park.
The Sox will look to bounce back after dropping a 4-1 decision to the Rays on Sunday. It marked the 10th time this season they failed to score more than one run.
Jovani Morán will serve as the opener for the Sox, followed by Brayan Bello. It was a formula that worked well in last week’s 10-3 win at Detroit when Bello entered the game in the second inning and allowed just one run on four hits over seven innings.
The Phillies were also off on Monday after winning two in a row against the Rockies to take the series in Philadelphia. They will send Zack Wheeler to the mound for his fourth start of the season.
Here is a preview.

Stat of the day: The Red Sox are 7-12 at home and have scored three runs or fewer in 12 of their 19 games at Fenway.
Notes: Bello is making his first career appearance against the Phillies. … The Red Sox have gone 5-for-31 with runners in scoring position over their past four games. … Andruw Monasterio is batting .296 with an .840 OPS over his last 8 games. … Tyler Samaniego allowed an inherited run to score on a sacrifice bunt Sunday, but retired both batters faced to extend his streak of consecutive scoreless appearances to 12, tied for the second-longest streak in Red Sox history to begin a career with Austin Maddox (2017), behind only Robby Scott (14 games in 2016-17). … Kyle Schwarber has homered in four straight games for the Phillies, including two in Sunday’s 6-0 win over the Rockies. Schwarber, who played 41 games for the Red Sox in 2021, is a career .319 hitter in 26 career games at Fenway Park with nine home runs. … Wheeler made his season debut on April 25, pitching for the first time since having surgery last September after a blood clot was discovered in his right shoulder. He’s gone six innings in each of his last two starts, limiting opponents to a .180 batting average and a .561 OPS. He is 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA in four career starts against the Red Sox.
